Album Description

Windblown Kiss is the first full-length album by Lovespirals, the beautiful, and beautifully surprising collaboration of RYAN LUM (the driving force behind legendary Love Spirals Downwards ) and new collaborative singer/songwriter Anji Bee.

Reknown multi-instrumentalist Lum once again creates musical landscapes of breathtaking beauty - and with vocal styles ranging from ethereal to earthy, sweet to sensual, Bee shows off her remarkable vocal range, and allows the full force of her voice to soar into the sublime.

Drawing inspiration from Flamenco, Bebop, soul, folk and the stacks of early vinyl they each grew up loving, Lovespirals has created a timeless world of romance and intrigue. Leaving behind the conventional restraints of dance-floor tracks, this latest endeavor is at once a dreamscape of nostalgia, and a kiss blown to the future.

Using half a dozen different guitars, and featuring the extraordinary talents of Doron Orenstein (of Frescoe ) on saxophones, and Sean Bowley (of Eden) on acoustic guitar and vocals, Windblown Kiss is a celebration of creative anachronism: the past and the future negotiate a gorgeous balance.

Can't get enough of this great album........2004-06-19

I bought this CD over a month ago and just can't get enough of it. I'm reading these reviews now, and I think it deserves a higher rating than it's got. Well, I keep returning over and over to everything that Love Spirals Downwards has recorded, especially songs like City Moon and Sunset Bell from Flux and Noumena of Spirit and This Endris Night from Idylls, Madras, Will You Fade, etc. But this is fast becoming one of my favorite cds of all time. There are so many great things about this album. Anji Bee is just divine. Her vocals and harmonies soar into that perfect harmonious space that great singers know how to hit. What a great remake of America's You Girl. I listened to this song on repeat for about 8 hours over two days on my trip through Arizona and Utah. Her backing vocals at the end are just delicious. Same for how her backing vocal comes in with the lines "toda se pasa" on Dejame or "his voice is like a song..." on He Calls Me. The Spanish lines flow so nicely in Dejame- "y los suenos, suenos son." Oh man, more people should buy this CD. I can't get enough of the gorgeous and intricate saxophone melodies in the 3 songs that feature Doron Orenstein. It inspires me to get more sax cds now. Ryan Lum's guitar work is great as usual, but this album is so varied, with all the different styles. I love the solo on Windblown Kiss and his mood setting picking on Swollen Sea. Anji Bee sings just off key at times to also add to the atmosphere of Swollen Sea- "will you return here, engulfed by a bleak fear..." I drove through a Death Valley sunset listening to this great song. Then comes the last track, which is currently my favorite track. I just love the way the sax repeats his line about two minutes into the song and then she repeats "no I, no I can't see you..." It's just brilliant, and one of many brilliant moments on this album. If these songs are a sincere expression of their love for each other, then I feel it. You guys are great- I so much look forward to your next CD!

Um....not what I expected, and to be honest it was not good.......2003-05-23

After reading these other reviews, I was psyched to get this album and give it a listen. I loved Love Spirals Downwards, and figured it is basically them anyhow so it should rock. Well, from the first song on I forced myself not to turn of the disc player! It is a totally different vibe then LSD, so if you are expecting anything like the other LSD albums it is not. The vocals are similar for the women, but a guy sings now, if you can call it that. It had 1 or 2 songs that were OK at best, but it was not worth the price I payed. I would return it in a heartbeat if I could. This sounds harsh, but so does the album.

Lovespirals need a new audience.......2002-10-08

"Windblown Kiss" is obviously misunderstood by many Projekt Records fans. Clearly, this album was not recorded with them in mind. None -- or at least, few -- of the typical ethereal music cliches are present in the songwriting of this new Lovespirals release. While there is certainly an ethereal mood to many of the songs, there is never an abundance of quote-unquote ethereal style going on. Lovespirals compose songs, not ambient passages, with clearly defined verses, choruses, bridges, solos -- the whole nine yards. Not content to stick to simple mood pieces, they offer fine musicianship and variety in the sound and song structures of this unconventional offering. There's no easy pigeonhole for Lovespirals' music to fit into, least of all darkwave, gothic, ambient, or ethereal. Jazz is really not an apt description either, as jazz is merely one element of their songwriting. Folk is certainly also present, rock, even a bit of world music. This album doesn't cater to any one class of music genres, which makes it very refreshing to some folks, and fairly difficult for others. The fact that it doesn't live up to someone's idea of what a Projekt record -- or a Love Spirals Downwards record -- should sound like does not make it a "bad" record. This record needs to be discovered by a much broader range of music listeners to be truly appreciated for what it is; an extraordinarly brave new blend of musical genres, taking the most profound and beautiful essense of each, and wedding them in blissful harmony.

[Bad].......2002-09-25

i heard this band at projektfest and thought the music sounded cool enough so i bought the cd....got it home and didn't enjoy it...

Sultry and Sweet.......2002-09-14

Let me start off by saying that Lovespiralsdownward has been one of my favorite bands for over 10 years. Suzanne Perry's delay laden, processed vocals were wonderful. Now with that said, Windblown Kiss is not a Lovespiralsdownward album. IT'S BETTER!
What we lost with the departure Suzanne Perry, we gained in the sweet voiced Anji Bee, who really shows off her talent with some sultry Jazz vocals. As for Ryan Lum, he's still creating great music. Windblown Kiss is more eclectic than some of his recent work, and reminds me more of his first album Idylls. The tracks I like most on Windblown Kiss are "I can't see you", and the America cover "You Girl". I can't really compare Lovespirals to another artist, but I will tell you that after listening to this album I had a strong craving to listen to artist like Peggy Lee, Nina Simone, Chris Isaak, Leonard Cohen, Cocteau Twins, and Tricky.

Album Description

Desert Winds is a series of six compositions based on the field recordings made in the Wendover/Great Salt Lake Desert Region on the Utah/Nevada border. As a sound artist who utilizes field recordings, I initially was concerned about the high desert winds causing technical difficulties for me. However, I soon discovered that the desert wind was one of the most interesting assets to me in my quest for finding interesting objects/sites to record. The sounds recorded were all produced by the wind.

Scott Smallwood is a sound artist, composer, and performer whose work spans a wide range of music interests.

And as an ambient composer of textured compositions utilizing field recordings, he has created a number of projects of which Desert Winds is the most recent.
